The Costume Specialists at Satin Stitches Ltd. have been custom producing performance costumes and dance team uniforms for nearly 40 years.

Our performance costumes and dance team uniforms are manufactured with longevity in mind, as our clients DEMAND it! Many groups need their uniforms and costumes to last for 3 to 5 to even 10 years. Our costume service includes couture-construction methods to insure that a Satin Stitches® costume or uniform will last a very long time. So your team can keep wearing them for season after season, or until they sell them to another group.

Because of this, Satin Stitches® has also learned how our specialty performance costumes need to be cleaned and taken care of. We ALWAYS provide a "costume care swatch" with every performance or dance team costume order. This is a very valuable tool. It has all the fabrics and trims that we used, when manufacturing your costumes on it. You can use it to test laundering options and you can use it to test spot cleaning. An example: if one of your dancers gets lipstick on their uniform, mark your "costume care swatch" with the same lipstick and try to remove it from this swatch, BEFORE you attempt the same procedure on the actual garment. Another example: if you plan to use a local dry-cleaning establishment to clean your uniforms, have them try the "costume care swatch" first, and see if they do a good job.

We have been offering our COSTUME CLEANING SERVICE for decades, driven by the needs of our customers. If you don't trust your own laundering ability or that of your local dry-cleaners, we use our local establishments that have been tried and true, to maintain the integrity of your costumes and uniforms. We take the worry out of costume care, with this service!

Deborah, our founder, has written many nationally and locally published articles on all aspects of costume care, and continues with her blogs addressing these issues.
